The plot revolves around Dante Leoni, an apparent Mafioso godfather who's still at large, who is protected by his gun-wielding bodyguard, Onwards. His girlfriend is protected by Lourdes, a middle-aged maid [[NinjaMaid who's obviously more than just a maid]], and one of his goons is Helmut, a giant German boxer who's obviously been hitting the juice. Westone, a member of the police, is trying to take him down [[KnightTemplar any means possible.]]
